A Degree for Schlafly

Controversy is again swirling around one of "Running in High Heels" interview subjects.

Anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum (among other things) is set to be awarded an honorary degree alongside Quincy Jones and Chris Matthews on May 16th by Washington University of St. Louis.

Students and faculty have organized and asked the chancellor to rescind the invite. Plus, over 1000 members have quickly joined the Facebook group"No honorary doctorate for anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly" to protest the award.

Still, there are many students - born in the 80s, well after Schlafly's hey day - who don't understand what all the fuss is about. To help bring the less familiar up to speed, we've posted a couple of select clips of Mrs. Schlafly's appearance in "Running" here.
